Sister, Sister!

Today is my sister’s birthday and she is the big 26! We have so many good memories, and I love how we are best friends. Happy Birthday Chell!

Road Trip!

So, we spontaneously went to COLORADO! It was really fun to just go on a trip to somewhere we have never been.  Everything was going great and we were making good time until all of the sudden the freeway was closed! We are in Colorado in this canyon and then the freeway was totally closed and we couldn’t get through. We were only 2 hours away from our hotel. It was 9pm by this point and we didn’t know what to do. We had never heard of a whole freeway being shut down before with no detour option.  We were determined to find a way to our destination. Thank goodness for navigation systems! We found this tiny side road and went for another adventure. It was a narrow canyon and it was snowing like crazy. We were wide-awake at this point – scared for our lives. Finally 5 hours later we arrived at our hotel at 3am. 

We went to the Dave Ramsey financial event and it was really good! Then we had a fun date night, which is always fun. It was a great weekend and nice to get away. I think I am going to try and implement more weekend trips into our lives.

This is a sign we saw during our detour adventure. It was like 1:30 in the morning and we thought it was hilarious! We had to stop and take a picture.

Update and Goodbye

On Friday Curt and I went and looked at our home to see how the progress was going, and wow were we surprised. It is coming along a lot faster than we thought it would. Instead of them being done mid May or end of May, they are saying they will be done in 2 or 3 weeks! They are putting in the cabinets today and Tuesday, counter tops are on Wednesday, wood floors are going in on the weekend, then we have carpet and plumbing (like sinks and toilets), and then it is finished! We hurried home and put our apartment contract up for sell and need to have someone take it over May 1st. I am so excited and am glad that it is going so well. I just hope nothing happens to slow the progress because then we won't have a place to live.

I thought that since we will be moving soon, I would post some pics as a little goodbye to our apartment.

April Fools' Day...What a Joke

Ok, so this might be a weird post, but I really dislike April Fools' Day. I think it is the dumbest "holiday". Some of you might not agree, but I just don't see the point. Curt and I have vowed never to do any pranks on each other on April 1st. We even pinky promised. I am glad that he agrees with me on this issue. How weird is it to have a whole day devoted to pulling pranks on people? I just don't think it is very nice, and most people don't enjoy getting pranked (think of an episode of Punk'd). It is a selfish and cruel "holiday" really. You purposely embarrass someone to make yourself feel good and to laugh at their expense.

Sorry, that was just something I had to get off my chest. Does anyone agree with me on this issue or are you an April Fools' Day fan? I am not saying you are a horrible person if you love April Fools' Day, but maybe think about the people you are planning on doing the prank to and only do it to people that are April Fools' Day fans as well. You can obviously do whatever you want, but it's just a thought.

I am glad that Curt and I don't participate in this "holiday". Curt and I have decided to be extra nice on April 1st and reverse the meaning! We invite all to join us in our pursuit to change this holiday!
